Caraway, Apple and Brussels Sprout Slaw with a Mango Yoghurt Dressing
Brussels sprouts. To slaw or not to slaw? That was the question.
OH was firmly in the not to slaw camp. Me – well I had to go and prove him wrong. So, I slawed. People, I was determined to go all out to win this one.
It was a very simple thought process; Which chutney does he eat copious amounts of? Mango. Add it in. He likes a hint of caraway – add in. Healthy yoghurt dressing – win win for the both of us. Definitely add it in.
Luckily it worked on both the first and the second attempt. One new salad recipe now firmly in my books. And, I just had to show you how OH ate his portion. Piled high on top of our home made oat seedy bread and leftover roast pork. The way to do it, right?
So here is the caraway, apple and Brussels sprout slaw with a mango yoghurt dressing. It is a mouthful but it is worth every single word. See if you agree.
I just missed adding this to the caraway event over at Bangers and Mash Spice trail link up. Do pop over to see all the lovely recipes that will inspire you to cook with your spices much much more.

Caraway Apple and Brussels Sprout Slaw with a Mango Yoghurt Dressing
Ingredients
Brussels sprout slaw:
- 200 g finely shredded Brussels sprouts
- 2 apples finely chopped
- Handful of chopped walnuts
- 1/2 tsp caraway seeds
Mango yoghurt dressing:
- 2 tbsp yoghurt I used Total Greek
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp water
- 2-3 tbsp balsamic vinegar depending on your taste
- 1 tbsp mango chutney
- Salt
Instructions
- Mix the slaw ingredients together in a bowl.
- Add the mango dressing ingredients into a separate bowl and whisk together until finely combined and adjust seasoning.
- You may need to add another tbsp of water if you use a very thick yoghurt.
- Mix together the slaw ingredients and as much of the dressing as you like. If you want more dressing then whip up another half batch of dressing and add to your desired taste.

what a great slaw recipe. I love brussels and shredding them and having them raw seems a great idea. I think a batch of this could be perfect for versatile additions through the week for lunch salads and wraps. mmm!
Thanks Nazima. I have plans to try this in various wraps.
Lovely recipe Bintu! Sounds like a fabulously tasty recipe for slaw, so much nicer than the ordinary carrot/cabbage/mayo version. And a great way to use up brussels.
I do love the ordinary slaw too but it is good to have variations like you say.
Ooooh Bintu, you’re a genius! That looks utterly delicious 🙂

Big praise from you Janie. I am blushing.
I’m not the biggest fan of caraway, but the mango yogurt dressing sounds amazing!
It would work with other spices you like too.
Maybe this is the way for me to get over my hatred of brussel sprout
🙂
oh I’m with the slaw camp! Great salad.
Yaye, glad to know more people are with me.
sounds lovely, it’s making me feel hungry
Then my work here is done :).
Mango & yogurt dressing must be awesome!
Oh yeah, it is….
I bet brussel sprouts work really well in slaw, they have a lovely nutty flavour. Your recipes sounds delicious. I add caraway to my bread, but never think about trying it in other things.
Caraway and rye bread is super good.
This looks like a winner, Bintu! Those pics are gorgeous! What kind of camera are you using? Really appealing…
Canon 700D. I practiced lots with it last month.
Looks good, especially as an open-face sandwich 🙂
Open face sandwiches are one of my big new things this year.
I really like brussels sprouts and it is good to see it being used in a coleslaw. Remember, the brussels sprout is not just for christmas, its for life!
I am going to be quoting you there Tina.
What an innovative and tasty looking recipe Bintu and such pretty images of the humble Brussels Sprouts too!
🙂
This sounds great! I love adding raw shredded spouts to salads.
I have a feeling I will be doing the same.
This is a mouthful and very creative.
🙂
What a great idea! I love slaw but never tried it with brussells sprouts!
Heidi any slaw recipes I can come drool over?
Hi B. I totally missed out on your awesome posts! Your RSS feed wasn’t coming through on my Digg Reader 🙁
I thought you’d taken a vacation or something… anyhoo, lovely slaw, that’s the only way I can eat Brussels sprouts and I’m a fan a caraway seeds
No worries Elsa – Feed fixed now.
I am going to book mark and try this for sure It looks great.
Yaye Nayna, Would love to see pics when you do.
Brilliant idea Bintu, not sure why sprouts are so firmly put into a boil only box when there’s so much more to them. GG
I know what you mean GG. This is def a fav new way of eating them.
